Are Books-a-Million Bookstores Going To Franchise?
Strange things are happening with bookstores these days. (Besides that fact that lots of them seem to be closing up shop.) Take Books-a-Million for instance; they seem to be sneaking into several old Border's stores...almost overnight. First off, I can't believe that I just wrote "old Border's stores." That's really weird. Second of all, why would another bookseller want to move in to these massive retail stores, and take their chance in a rapidly-changing

I Would Never Own a Cleaning Franchise
That's right; never. No way, no how. N E V E R No one uses them anymore. Everyone has more time these days. I don't personally know of any busy dual-income families who would be willing to pay someone to come out to clean their homes in order to save them time.
